Louth Co Co seeks legal advice on Ramparts

15 September 2015

Louth County Council is seeking legal advice on the situation at the Ramparts in Drogheda.
The matter was discussed at the Borough District of Drogheda's monthly meeting last week where elected members were told that the local authority had sent a warning letter to the developer requiring him to resolve the landslide problem or face legal action.
Director of Services Mary T Daly told the meeting that she had received a commitment from the developer that works would commence on the site on Monday the 14th of September and she said if this deadline wasn't met, she would explore the options available in terms of legal action.
The landslide has forced the closure of the footpath at the Ramparts preventing access to members of the public and has been an on-going issue for nearly three years.
Local Independent Councillor Kevin Callan who put forward a motion at the meeting calling on the council to initiate legal proceedings to the developer, told LMFM News that he is disgusted with the current situation.
